is 1 line long, it is membranaceous witli rounded interval* be- 

 tween the teeth j the corolla is tubular, campanular above, marked 

 with fifteen dark parallel lines, and the border is divided into five 

 very long linear segments : the shorter pair of stamens are half 

 the length, the longer pair two-thirds the length of the tube, 

 vi^ith a fifth filament intermediate with the latter and half the 

 length of the former, bearing at its apex a small glandular lobe : 

 the ovary is seated on an adnate disk with its margin undulated, 

 and the style is articulated at its base.

This species is very much of the same aspect as the three 

 preceding, but is readily distinguished by its spreading, small, 

 oval, sessile leaves, densely covered with thick tomentum ; these 

 are 3 to 4 lines long, 1|- to 2|^ lines broad; the axillary raceme 

 is very shorty presenting the appearance of three or four alternate 

 cupshaped nodes, out of each of which (or some of them are 

 abortive) proceeds a slender pedicel 1 line long, bearing a calyx 

 of equal length, which is pubescent within, as well as outside ; 

 the campanular corolla, of which the tube is 1| line long^ has 

 rather broad acute segments of the same length ; the stamens are 

 of the same proportional length as in the preceding species, with 

 a very short sterile filament betw^een the longer pair; the disk, 

 adhering to the base of the ovary, has an undulating or lobed 

 margin : the capsule is globular, nearly 2 lines in diameter, and 

 half enclosed in the persistent calyx, has four thickly coriaceous 

 valves^ containing six seeds and a ligneous crescent-shaped dis- 

 sepiment.
